job - What should a faculty member outside of the US do to move to a top-tiered American university?


I have three close friends who are ambitious and young junior lecturers at universities in Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore who are interested getting academic jobs in a top-tiered American university.


How might they go about achieving this? What can they do in the meantime to increase their chances, compared to academicians who are already based in the US?



Neither of them are American citizens, although one of them studied in the US and another in the UK. They all work in the humanities and social sciences. I know that entering the academic job market in the US can be expensive, with all the traveling. And my friends live more or less at the other end of the world.
